The Pointy Hat Book Club

Hi, fellows! This week The Three Muses challenge is The Age of Steam and I decided to try something cozier and more intimate than machines and trains. I do like the idea of old friends gathering together for a nice cup of tea and chatting over books and life.

Ballooners

Take a Word asked for balloons. And I decided to tell you what happened on Saturday. We went to a friend's house for a girls night. We had wine and some delicious treats, talked a lot and laughed even more. And after a few more glasses of wine everybody went ballooning! Or something like that...

Thanks to Createwings and Mr. Whiskers.

A Friend in the dark

“I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” ― Helen Keller

Hi! Take a Word asked for DARK and it occurred to me I could did a darker version of this collage.

Postcard to Cláudia

Hi! This week Take a Word asked for Mail Art and I grabbed the chance to say happy birthday to my dearest friend who lives in the most beautiful city in the world, unfortunately very far from me...

Something to retire to...

- Hey, handsome! Are you going to paint me too?

Billizetti received us for a delicious retirement mad tea party, unfortunately most of us forgot to bring a gift, what made him very disgusted. To redeem myself I made this digital collage in his honor. I am very optimistic about Bill's retirement, because he has something to retire to: his ART.
This picture also apply to this week Take a Word Challenge: BEACH.

Short letter for a long time friend

This week the theme is MAIL ART at The Three Muses. I am a very lazy friend and I took this opportunity to apologize to my dearest friend, Cláudia. I hope she's not mad at me because of this.

Wings For Gabi

Em um reino muito muito distante, uma linda jovem sonhava ter asas no pé, assim poderia ir - com a velocidade de um raio - aonde desejasse ir. Então, já que 2011 era o ano do Deus Hermes (ou Mercúrio), ela pediu a ele esse presentinho. Presente concedido e brindado com champanha, sua bebida preferida!

In a far far away land, a beautiful young woman dreamed of having wings on her feet, so she could go - with lightning speed - where wanted to go. Thus, since 2011 was the year of God Hermes (or Mercury), she asked him for this gift. He granted it and they toasted with champagne, her favorite drink!
